Private GP Alternative for Epsom: Faster Access, Longer Appointments

Private GP

08/09/2025 by Dr Amanda Northridge

Why Epsom patients are choosing a private GP alternative

Waiting weeks for a routine referral or having only ten minutes to explain a complex problem is frustrating. Nearly 4 in 10 patients say they want quicker access and more continuity of care — and Mayfield Clinic offers that as an NHS alternative private GP for Epsom residents.

Quick access when you need it

Mayfield Clinic provides immediate availability compared with typical NHS waits. If you live in Epsom and need a quick GP alternative, we can usually offer same-week appointments. You don’t have to deregister from your NHS GP; our private GP service sits alongside your existing care and gives you faster access to assessments, investigations and onward referrals.

Longer consultations, named doctors

Short appointments make it hard to build a medical picture. Our private consultations are longer by design. That means a named doctor — often the same clinician each visit — who knows your history and coordinates your care. For Epsom patients seeking a private GP instead of NHS-style rushed care, this continuity reduces repeat visits and diagnostic delays.

How it works for Epsom patients (where you’ll be seen)

Although this page targets Epsom, our clinical consultations are delivered from our Wimbledon practice. Travel from Epsom to Wimbledon typically takes around 25–35 minutes by car or public transport, making face-to-face appointments straightforward. Book online via the Book now button; members may also book by phone or WhatsApp.

“You can keep your NHS GP. Use our private service when you need faster access, more time, or a second opinion.”

When a private doctor is the right alternative to NHS GP care

Consider private GP care if you need: urgent assessment without long waits, a second opinion for a complex condition, faster diagnostic tests, or longer follow-ups for chronic problems. For Epsom patients, Mayfield Clinic offers these options as an NHS alternative private GP while respecting your ongoing NHS treatment.

Diagnostics, referrals and coordinated care

We arrange blood tests, imaging and specialist referrals from our Wimbledon base, fast. Private referral pathways often cut weeks or months from NHS waiting times. If you require a private consultant appointment, our GPs will prepare the referral and relevant tests so your pathway is efficient and well-documented for your NHS records if you wish.

Pricing, membership and booking

Our pricing is transparent. You can book ad-hoc private GP appointments online, or join as a member for reduced rates and priority booking. Members in Epsom can call or WhatsApp to book directly. All non-member bookings should be made via the Book now button on the website.

Local note for Epsom patients

Epsom is known for its Downs and the racecourse; many locals value quick, reliable services to fit busy lives. A trip to Wimbledon for a thorough GP consultation can be combined with local errands or work commitments — and our team often schedules appointments at times that suit commuters from Epsom.

What to bring to your first private GP appointment

Bring any recent NHS correspondence, medication lists and a summary of your concerns. If you’re transferring records from your NHS GP, let us know and we’ll help request them. Clear documentation speeds up diagnosis and ensures continuity between your NHS and private care.
